I sold my 4.5 yr. old Redbone female to an Iowan hunter yesterday

It was surreal, Realizing She needed a pack and a hunting life.

I turned 60 in January and I decided to switch my lifestyle to a slower paced Dog breed

I have found (through Tman) a Lab pairing for an upcoming litter

Hopefully the Female chocolate throws a Female Chocolate pup

Anyway, Day after Sale, I miss Ruby today, and hope she enjoys the hunts. [Linked Image]

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Beautiful dog. I’m sure it’s hard to see her go but she’ll be happy getting to hunt

Tough deal for you I'm sure, but big of you to realize that a coonhound that can't hunt is just a hound. You did the right thing.

I'm jealous of whoever got Ruby! Sounds like it will work out good for all involved. Best of luck with the new pup.

Bet it was hard to let Ruby go, but now she'll get to do what she loves. Good luck with the lab.


My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.

Yep, I don't know how folks can let some animals go. They just become part of your days, and with a face like that it would be impossible for me.
